Great Things Come In Small Packages

The obvious is almost always overlooked. This popular phrase rings true with regard to investing as much as it does about life in general! One overlooked company is in the 'Packaging and Containers' industry, the appropriately named Packaging Corporation of America (PKG).

Although its primary business of producing corrugated container board products and related shipping services may be slightly boring, Packaging Corp's growth is anything but. The company's recent acquisition of smaller rival Boise has significantly bolstered Packaging Corp's industry positioning by greatly enhancing production capacity. Packaging Corp is now the fourth largest producer of container board in The United States and is set to grow revenue over 60% and EPS over 35% in fiscal 2014.
